Turtle Topiary

On By wanderingcatyarns

On my internet travels this spring, I came across this neat project.

I just so happened to have one of those wire baskets. I actually have two – I don’t used them as hanging baskets anymore as I find they are too hard to keep the soil moist.

So why not turn one into a turtle. I bought some hens and chicks, sedum, elfin time, and moss several weeks ago, but didn’t get around to putting him together until this past weekend.

And of course, when I did… I didn’t actually go back and look at the instructions… I just kind of winged it from memory.

So my turtle is abit more… umm… laden than the one in the project, lol. I do have some sphagnum moss, left over from our adventure with Newt, so I’m tempted to go back and lighten him up a little. It’s not like I cant put a few of those plants somewhere in the gardens.

We’ll see if I get around to it. For now, he’s hanging out behind the cucumbers in Willow Grove, keeping an eye on the bird bath.

    That’s a really cute idea. He just needs to trim down a bit, just like me. He’s cute just the way he is.
